Storage continues to be a crucial PACS element, particularly in this era of ever-growing image sizes. Fortunately, archiving vendors will be coming to the 2008 RSNA meeting with a range of scalable and versatile storage technologies and services.
A number of companies will also highlight storage infrastructure designed to consolidate image data from disparate systems into a single point of storage. In addition, several vendors will continue to promote the disaster recovery and convenience benefits of storing data at offsite data centers.
Grid computing technology and archive appliances will be available as options for RSNA attendees to explore as well. See below for a sample of what to expect at McCormick Place from the world of archiving systems.
